Models with automatic intermittent wipers

Vehicles equipped with automatic intermittent wipers in the Honda Pilot 2023 should always have the "AUTO" setting turned OFF before performing the following actions to prevent potential damage to the wiper system:

1. Cleaning the Windshield: Before manually cleaning the windshield, ensure that the automatic wiper setting is switched off to avoid unintended activation.
2. Driving through a Car Wash: When entering a car wash facility, it's important to deactivate the automatic wiper function to prevent the wipers from operating unnecessarily and potentially causing damage.
3. No Rain Present: If there is no precipitation or moisture on the windshield, turn off the automatic wiper setting to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the wiper blades and system.

By manually switching off the "AUTO" setting in these situations, Honda Pilot 2023 owners can help maintain the longevity and proper functioning of their wiper system, ensuring reliable performance when needed in inclement weather conditions.
